To live

Christian Probst mentions Freiherr von Schurff in an event that falls outside the framework of the popular uprising:

In November 1705, eleven recruits were forcibly freed in Wildenwart . On November 22, 1705 there was violent outrage when Christoph Dismas Freiherr von Schurff invited his subjects to an arbitration at the castle. Probst: "They were fueled by a targeted agitation, in which it was said that the prophecies of the Sibyl about the general overthrow of the world order must now be fulfilled and the people must kill all rule and authority ."

Schurff gave the rebels 1,700  guilders to calm them down and tried in vain to flee to Munich with his family.
